Hello, I am doing my best to gather all the information I can from the official website, but I have significant doubts when applying for an extension for my daughter's student visa. My now ex-husband was responsible for all the paperwork, and now I am trying to manage it with my extreme ADHD. I will also have to apply for my work visa extension soon, so I will provide all the information I can below.
My now ex-husband got a job offer in Quebec, and we went through the process. I was granted an open work permit, and both our daughters were granted student permits. We entered Canada on 2022-10-31, but due to their passport expiration date, the end of their student visa was set to 2024-04-10. I know I am late, and I am fortunate because I wanted to get ahead, and on Monday, I realized it was not on 2024-04-30 as I had in mind. So, I could be completely doomed now, yet I have hopes. Her CAQ is valid until 2024-05-18.
Unfortunately, my ex-husband did not want to remain in Canada, so we separated, and my 16-year-old decided she wanted to stay, while my 13-year-old decided to go back. We are now legally divorced.
First doubt: Designated Study Institution and end of the study period. I entered the information from her High School here in Montreal. I'm not sure if it is necessary or if adding it will cause any harm, but my biggest concern is when to set an end date for the studies. She will graduate in May 2025 and hopes to get into a CEGEP. What should I input as the end of the Duration of Expected Study?
Second Doubt: Funds. I do not know what to enter for "funds for study" as I don't have money saved, but I do have a full-time job I am holding onto for dear life. So far, with the new life and adapting to making it with only one salary, it has been challenging, but I have been able to make ends meet. If I add $0 to this, I am terrified they will misinterpret it as her not having the means to be supported here. I am in desperate need of assistance because I don't want to provide false information. My ex-husband also does not have a significant amount saved as he is also "starting over" back home.
Third and last doubt: Employment. The form demands I add at least one employment information to it, but she is 16.
I am willing to watch any videos and read any material. I googled but only found answers from 2013-2016. I am considering investing in a consultant as long as I can afford it, of course, because I have no idea about costs. I am fighting the clock now with my misperception of the expiration dates, and I am in desperate need of any assistance.
Thank you all for reading, even if you can't help!
